THOR was formed in 1980 by Wade F. B.
Thompson and Peter Busch
Orthwein for the sole purpose of buying Airstream from Beatrice Foods. It was the Beatrice years that owners of Airstreams often indicate as problematic ones.

Airstream= lots of mystique. Originally were well built. Now owned by Thor, so IMHO questionable quality. Very limited storage, no slide outs, outrageous prices. Winebago= name only. There are many many decent quality RVs on the market. Any one can build good or bad units. You need to decide what is important to you, and budget. As a first time buyer, there is no way in heck I would suggest a new purchase to you. At this point, no matter what you think you have no clue what if any RV will fit your lifestyle. So, unless you have more disposable income than brains go shopping for a gently used trailer and go camping.
